The Judas Kiss lyrics by Metallica

When the world has turned its back
When the days have turned pitch black
When the fear abducts your tongue
When the fire’s dead and gone

So, what now?
Where go I?

When you think it’s all said and done.
When you are the ostracized
Selfish ridden dead goodbyes
Twisting on the tourniquet
When the pieces never fit

So, what now?
Where go I?

When you think it’s all said and done.
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons
Into abyss,
You don’t exist.
Cannot resist,
The Judas kiss.

When the Storm has blacked your sky
Intuition crucify
When the ego strips your reign.
Assissinate the living flame.

So, what now?
Where go I?

When you think it’s all said and done.
Venom of a life insane
Bites into your fragile Vein
Internalize and decimate
Patronize and complicate

So, what now?
Where go I?

When you think it’s all said and done.
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit Infectiously
Sanctify your demons
Into abyss,
You don’t exist.
Cannot resist,
The Judas kiss.

Judas lives, recite this vow.
I’ve become your new god now.
Followed you from dawn of time
Whispered thoughts into your mind.
Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured your children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown
In the heart of feeble man
Plant the seed of my own plan
The strong and powerful will fall.
Find a piece of me in all…
Inside you all,
